Japan is like a shining Pacific pearl with many faces. You can expect to see sparkling royal palaces which once housed samurai warriors, and explore temples and shrines to ancient gods. But equally, you’ll also find sandy beaches, breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes and skiing which compares with the very best.

Mexico enjoys a deserved reputation as a favourite holiday destination. And while the whole of Latin America also attracts tourists from every corner of the world, provided tourists observe the basic tips on personal safety, Mexico can offer a more varied and tourist-friendly mix than many of its regional rivals.

If you have ever played on a slot machine you would have noticed that there are many symbols and reels. Generally, players play without understanding the whole concept of the slots. The truth is that each reel and symbol leads to a different payout when they are triggered in a certain order.

With the majority of slot games, the Scatter symbol pays out when three of them are found on a reel. In some machines, even two is acceptable. Remember, a Scatter symbol doesn’t need to be in a certain line to give a payout – that’s why it is called a Scatter symbol. They can be scattered all around the reels and still pay out a certain amount. You can look at the payout window to determine your winnings and the amount the machine will pay according to its symbols.

Most slot machines give out a bonus feature of some sort and these features can also be triggered by scattered slots. Have you ever played on a machine and had a free play feature pop up on the screen? Well, this is a result of the Scatter symbol. Video slot machines are well known for their Scatter symbols and lucrative bonus features. The bonus could be in a form of free spins or a bonus round to build up your credits.

Generally, you would notice the Scatter symbol quite easily since it resembles the theme of the game you are playing on. For instance, if you are playing on a dragon-themed slot, the Scatter symbol will most probably be a dragon, if it’s a pot of gold theme then the Scatter symbol will surely be a gold pot and so on.

Platinum Play offers the coolest slot games and the Scatter symbols make winning fun and easy!

I’m not going to suggest that all of us are lazy, but can we really argue that we love things that make our lives more convenient? Think about it – how often have you been unable to find the remote for the TV, and just ended up watching whatever channel you were stuck on? [Read more…]

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Canadians cross the border to do a little shopping in the US, and an Indian tribe in Maine is banking that many of those people will come and play at a proposed racetrack and casino complex. The Passamaquoddy Indians are waiting for the results of an upcoming referendum that would allow them to build the new multi-million dollar racetrack, casino and high-stakes bingo facility to attract some of the Canadian traffic.

The area where the proposed gambling Utopia would go is currently undergoing rough times and the tribe believes that their racetrack-casino, with 1,500 slot machines as well as conference facilities, would help to uplift the area.

As it stands, Canadian sports bettors are only allowed to gamble on multiple sporting events with a single bet, but if NDP MP Joe Comartin has his way, that will change to allow those same gamblers to place sing bets on one-off sporting events, like the Super Bowl. The bill has passed the first hurdle, but must still go through the Justice and Human Rights Committee, before hitting the House for a third reading, which is where the bill could eventually become bogged down. Comartin is confident that he has enough support to prevent that from happening, but time will tell.

If you are looking for a wild jungle adventure when you play slots, then look no further than Tiger’s Eye here at Platinum Play Online Casino. This 5 reel, 40 pay-line slot is bursting with vibrant colour, wicked wild animals and the high level of game play that you’ve come to expect from Microgaming and Platinum Play.

There are a number of brightly coloured animals appearing on the reels, but you really have to keep your eye on the tiger, because when he shows up, he can trigger a free spin feature that will have you howling with delight.

You are awarded 10 free spins when the tigers show up, but the beauty of this bonus is that the multipliers go up with each spin, all the way up to 10X by the time you reach the final spin. This makes winning big a reality, and when those Tiger’s Eye wild symbols start stacking up, the possibility of walking out of the jungle with some hidden treasure becomes all the more likely.

Tiger’s Eye also has a gamble feature that allows you to double, or even quadruple your winning by simply playing the hi/lo game, or by guessing the next suit on a deck of cards.

Like most games at Platinum Play, Tiger’s Eye has betting denominations that make it attractive to every level of gambler. You can play for as little as 25 cents per spin, or get really wild with a $10 per spin bet. There no need to leave the house to go on a big game hunt. Simply Register with Platinum Play Casino and play Tiger’s Eye.

The summer season is officially at an end, and the leaves have started to fall off the trees. Most people shudder, literally, at the thought of winter coming, but for those few brave souls who can’t wait for the frigid December air and the first flakes of the year, then Platinum Play have you covered with their latest 3 reel. Pub style slot game Frost Bite.

This is a game that is so cool it’s almost freezing; the graphics are all in various shades of blue, and the snow flakes and little Jack Frost looking character will send a shiver down your spine that is sure to make the gooseflesh pop on your exposed skin.

Perhaps it’s not the cold that causes that reaction, and maybe it’s just the excitement of the game and the prospect of hitting the 1600 coin jackpot.

This is the one place where getting hit with frost bite is actually a good thing, and that symbol showing up on the reels acts as a wild symbol and multiplier, all wrapped up in one frigid little package.

Frost Bite is a great game for inexperienced slots players to learn the basic rules of the game, and with 1 pay-line and a maximum bet of 2 coins, players can quickly get a grasp of the fun of the slots experience without having to spend a bunch of money in the process.

That’s the beauty of Platinum Play; they have games that are fun for the casino pro and the gambling newbie, all without skimping on quality or the fun game play, but just make sure not to put your tongue against the monitor with this one as the cool might just make it stick.

Both traditional land-based casinos and the online variety, like Platinum Play Online Casino, have the same goal of providing a quality gaming experience to their customers, but let’s be honest, if the average Joe showed up at one of the big Monte Carlo casinos dressed in a ragged t-shirt, cargo shorts and a pair of sandals, they would be shown the exit in very short order. That is where online casinos have the edge in my opinion: there is no need to look or dress a certain way in order to gain access, and they will even let you play for free if you don’t have any money. Try doing that in Vegas!

Many of the bigger online casinos have website portals that cater to individual countries; for example, Platinum Play has their main site, as well as three others that are geared towards Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, but your log-in will work across all those sites and you don’t have to play in the site that corresponds to your country of origin.

Online casinos are designed to appeal to the global community, and with that in mind everyone is welcome to come and play, or just kick the tires and check out all the slots, table games, progressive games and online tournaments that we have to offer. The only way anyone will ever be denied access to an online casino is if they are under age, have a gambling problem or are playing in a country where it is illegal to do so, but otherwise everyone is welcome.

Platinum Play prides itself on giving new and regular players the same high standard of service. They believe that every customer is valuable, no matter how much or how little they play inside their virtual doors. The feeling at Platinum Play is that everybody is welcome to play, and win!

Movies and video games have always been great fodder for video slots, with many of the best, most memorable themed slots using images and graphics from those sources to create a little bit of reel magic. One of the latest themed video slots to hit the Platinum Play Online Casino is based on one of the most successful video game series ever made, and anyone that has ever played computer games on a regular basis will instantly recognize the bald head and grey suit of Agent 47 from the Hitman series.
